That's an extreme view. I think most Americans, myself included, celebrated the day Bin Laden was shot dead. He's with his 72 virgins in hell right now. Good riddance. Well done, Obama. No one can take that accomplishment from him. But to compare Bin Laden with Mitch McConnell? That's a bit extreme. BTW, I don't like Mitch either. He's a back of stale air and should be fired. In fact, same for Boehner. You see, I think the problem with Congress is not that it has good or bad GOP or Dem members, but rather I think the problem is they are all too damned old. They are ossified in their thinking. It's time to fire the old people who continually want to rape and loot this country for every cent its worth and bring in young people who still have a conscience, who have children they want to leave a solvent country to, who have a bright vision for the future, and the energy to fight for it. I've said multiple times that I think the real battle is more generational than it is GOP or Dem. Think about it. You know what unites both the GOP and Dem old people? They are all Socialists! They love their Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. They all say they earned it, even though on average all of them will receive far more benefits in their lifetime than they paid into the system. The only difference between them is the GOP members will absolutely deny they believe in Socialism, but the Dems will revel in their Socialism. Other than that, they are the same. For example, and this is a true story...I was on the phone with my old mom a few days ago and I listed out a bunch of provisions of the Obamacare laws and asked her if she liked those things, but I failed to mention they were part of Obamacare. She said absolutely yes and that was why she would not vote for Obama, because he was going to change her medical insurance to take all of those things away! Of course, I calmly pointed out to her that Romney has pledge to get rid of Obamacare on day 1, which includes all of those provisions I just listed for her. She just laughed with some considerable embarrassment and just changed the subject. You see what I mean? It doesn't matter which party we vote for, the old people will never let us solve the problems this country has, because to do so would mean they would have to make sacrifices, when what they prefer is to make sure my generation and that of my kids are the ones who have to sacrifice. This is an old versus a young generational fight. That's more important than the GOP Dem debate.
